Electrolux Boosts Dividend as Profits Soar
February 2, 2011 February 2, 2011 - by Bjarne Wildau - Leave a Comment
Electrolux, the world's second largest household appliance company, on Wednesday posted annual profits and dividend up more than 50 percent, but said 2011 would provide only "modest" growth amid rising costs for raw materials.
Thanks to the economic recovery seen in many countries last year as well as several plant closures, the Swedish company said its net profit jumped 53 percent to 4.0 billion kronor (453 million euros, 627 million dollars) last year.
"Demand in our largest markets recovered somewhat in 2010," the company's new president and chief executive Keith McLoughlin said in the earnings report, describing the full-year results as "the best ever for Electrolux," but cautioning that the market "continues to be very competitive."
The boost allowed it to distribute a dividend of 6.50 kronor per share, up from 4.00 kronor in 2009, according to its earnings statement.
"I see very good opportunities going forward to be able to continue to deliver a high return to our shareholders," said McLoughlin, who succeeded Hans Straaberg at the helm of the company at the start of the year.
Nonetheless, the company saw its share price plunge more than five percent to 172.50 kronor within minutes of trading start on the Stockholm stock exchange, with observers hinting that a cautious outlook and smaller-than-expected dividend were to blame.
Electrolux meanwhile posted a three-percent drop in sales to 106.33 billion kronor in 2010, but said that disregarding an unfavourable exchange rate its sales actually swelled 1.5 percent.
In the last quarter of the year, the company reported a net profit up just two percent at 667 million kronor on sales down two percent at 27.56 billion kronor.
The results beat the expectations of analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires, who had predicted an eight-percent drop in net profit on sales down three percent.
In 2011, the appliance giant, which is second in the sector only to US Whirlpool, forecast "modest" growth in sales, with demand up two percent in Europe and three percent in North America.
McLoughlin said the company would see "most of the growth in the second half of the year."
It said higher raw material costs were expected to dent its results to the tune of between 1.5 and 2.0 billion kronor, with most of the impact felt at the beginning of the year.
"The costs for our most important raw materials continue to increase. In addition to increased costs for steel, we also see considerable increases in resins and base metals," McLoughlin said.

Prokofiev - Cello sonata op.119. You can download the PDF sheet music Prokofiev - Cello sonata op.119 on this page. The Cello Sonata in C major, Op. 119, was composed by Sergei Prokofiev in 1949. The Prokofiev' Cello Sonata was given a first, private performance by Mstislav Rostropovich and Sviatoslav Richter on 181'1 December 1949, with the public premiere taking place in the Small Hall of the Moscow Conservatory on 1" March 1950. The Sonata appears timeless so much does the classicism of its construction and the Romantic inspiration make it the sister of those by Rachmaninov, Miaskovsky or Shostakovich as well as of Beethoven's Sonata in A major.
To view the first page of Prokofiev - Cello sonata op.119 click the music sheet image.
In 1949, Prokofiev attended a concert in which Mstislav Rostropovich performed Nikolai Miaskovsky's Cello Sonata No. 2 in A minor, Op. 81. Prokofiev was so impressed by Rostropovich's performance that he was determined to write a Cello Sonata for him. At the same time, Prokofiev wrote the symphonic suite Winter Bonfire, Op. 122, the ballet The Tale of the Stone Flower, Op. 118, and the Pushkin Waltzes, Op. 120. The Cello Sonata was published in Moscow in 1951.
A typical performance lasts for about 25 minutes.
The work was premiered on March 1, 1950 in the Small Hall of the Moscow Conservatory with Rostropovich as soloist and with Sviatoslav Richter at the piano.
dered by love. In this instant of profound lyricism are found the ingredients used by the most inimitable Prokofiev: large intervals, double stopping, tight, whimsical chromatic ascents, refined, slightly acid modulations... To this is added the velvety, bewitching sonority of the cello that here plays on its baritone register. The finale, Allegro ma non troppo (2/2), brings back the solemnity bordering on tranquillity of the initial Andante, even though the cello indulges itself in a few shifts on the C-string and several recitatives on the chanterelle. There follows a whole group of variations: andantino in 4/4, a first re-exposition of the opening theme, a poco a poco piü tranquillo passage, and finally a coda in which the theme of the initial Andante reappears, transposed and accompanied with humour and insouciance up to the veloce of the piano, the last transition before the final series of sextuplets descending to the low C pedal on the cello's open string. In point of fact, this Opus 119 is presented like a new "poem", with incessant changes of tempo and colour, that the performer must render in its spontaneity, imperious nobility and exquisite, languid lyricism.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Birthplace, Thal Austria
Posted by60778228 September 20, 2020 November 15, 2020
https://arnieslife.com/?lang=en
Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger (/ˈʃvɑːrtsnɛɡər/;[1][a] German: [ˈaʁnɔlt ˈʃvaʁtsn̩ˌʔɛɡɐ]; born July 30, 1947) is an Austrian-American actor, businessman, former politician and professional bodybuilder.[2] He served as the 38th Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. As of 2020, he is the most recent Republican governor of California.
Schwarzenegger began lifting weights at the age of 15, and went on to win the Mr. Universe title at age 20 before winning the Mr. Olympia contest seven times; he remains a prominent presence in bodybuilding and has written many books and articles on the sport. The Arnold Sports Festival, considered the second most important bodybuilding event after Mr. Olympia,[3] is named after him. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, as well as the sport's most charismatic and famous ambassador.[4]
Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film icon. His breakthrough film was the sword-and-sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian (1982), a box-office hit that resulted in a sequel in 1984.[5] He appeared as the title character in James Cameron's critically and commercially successful sci-fi action film The Terminator (1984), and subsequently played similar characters in the films Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Genisys (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019). He also starred in other successful action films such as Commando (1985), The Running Man (1987), Predator (1987), Total Recall (1990), and True Lies (1994), in addition to comedy films such as Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990), Junior (1994), and Jingle All The Way (1996).
A Republican, Schwarzenegger was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. He was sworn in on November 17, to serve the remainder of Davis' term. He was then re-elected in the 2006 California gubernatorial election, to serve a full term as governor.[6] In 2011, he completed his second term as governor and returned to acting.
Schwarzenegger was nicknamed the "Austrian Oak" in his bodybuilding days, "Arnie" or "Schwarzy" during his acting career, and "The Governator" (a portmanteau of "Governor" and "Terminator") during his political career. He married Maria Shriver, the niece of 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy, in 1986. They separated in 2011 after he admitted to having fathered a child with their housemaid in 1997,[7] and their divorce was finalized in 2017.

Generous Clothing: Sisters launch plus-size vintage pop-up shop
Lindsay William-Ross
Thrift-loving sisters Sharalee, Melissa, and Shantini have noticed a glaring gap in the market, and a new venture they've launched aims to fill that void. The sibs are behind Generous Clothing, a pop-up shop offering carefully curated vintage plus-sized clothing.
Making shopping trips around the region, from Portland to Vancouver and in their native Fraser Valley, the sisters have grown their collection of pieces from the 1950s to more current pieces.

Spokes-sister Shantini Klaassen says that Generous Clothing will have sizes from 10 to 24 on hand, however they have come up with a way to account for the swings in sizing across the decades and brands.
"We're creating our own sizing system by measuring each garment to take the inconsistencies and guesswork out of sizing. That means we have clothing that measures up to a 54 inch waist and a 60 inch bust," explains Klaassen.
"Beautiful details are what makes the hours of sifting through dusty back rooms and questionably smelling warehouses totally worthwhile," attests sister Sharalee.
For these inspired and inspiring sisters, moving away from "fast fashion" is another motivator for embracing thrift, at any size.
"We care about buying clothes that are both ethically made and eco-friendly, and used really is the best way to do that. We have a huge range of styles, from some beautiful, Canadian-made dresses from the 50s and 60s, to more 'modern vintage' of the 80s, and some more current, well-made styles. We tried to focus on clothing that will last and natural fabrics, like cotton, linen and wool," notes Klaassen.
"This pop-up will be a comfortable, fun place to celebrate bodies that are often excluded from fashion" she adds.
The Generous Clothing pop-up shop takes place in Abbotsford on Saturday, March 16. You can follow them on Instagram @generous.clothing to see some of the pieces in their collection.

Brady Talking Presidential Kids On Word of Mouth

U.S. Presidents have the most scrutinized job in the world - and that means their families also go under the proverbial microscope. I got to talk with my pals at NHPR's Word of Mouth about some of the most memorable presidential offspring.


Here, at Djubo, we don't believe in hearsay or guesswork. We believe in hard data. That is why we conducted "The Thinking Hotelier Survey – 2014" to understand the biggest problems faced by the management of small independent hotels. We even went ahead and looked at the problems that are often overrated.
Analysis of this data not only gave us a deeper understanding of what difficulties were being faced by small independent hotels, but also helped us improve Djubo, our cloud-based unified hotel sales platform, to help hotel managers overcome those problems.
Have a look at what we found. Do share your thoughts on the same. And don't forget to share it with others who might benefit from it.


Amyra hugs him, after which Harsh asks judges to rate her performance. The pandit praises her and says she did well and scored a 6, Usha praises Amyra for her fusion and scores her 8, Udit says she was good but Benam's lead was better so he gave her a 5. Harsh says Amyra's total is 19. Harsh invites all other contestants on stage, Kulfi looks at Sikander, Bebe asks Gunjan why has Kulfi hidden her face, Benam and Amyra tie again but both successfully enter top 8.
Mahesh complains to Mia and says she would like to quit, Mia says she doesn't mind, he is short of work but she is not short of finding a guru, and that he knows that Benam has huge chance to win, then why is he actually over reacting. Mia is heard telling Falana that this round will be duet.
Harsh welcomes lucky 8 contestants and announces the same thing that the next round will be a duet, and if they are a team then they will have a representative. Rocket says to Kulfi that she is their star and hence she will be representing them. Kulfi doesn't wish to pair up with Amyra and Amyra has a similar reaction of not anting to pair up with a "dirty girl". When Harsh sets up the pairs, he announces Benam and Amyra as the next pair.
This shocks Kullfi and Amyra. Meanwhile, Mohendar sees kulfi and gets emotional.
Harsh asks judges to say something about the most excited combination Amyra and Benam, to which the judges say it is very exciting because they are very opposite personalities. Pandit however says that Benam will ruin Amyra's performance too.
Harsh then calls Sikander on stage, and asks his take, which is when Sikander says it's destiny they are together and they have to stand on what they are assigned, and when they are together they all win, even when there are hurdles, and his daughter is in his heart, and he would like to tell her to be with her partner and win the show, his blessings are with her.
Amyra gets very angry, and Mohendar and Sikander try to calm her down. Lovely agrees to take her home if she calms down. She is adamant about not performing with a dirty girl. Kullfi on the other hand is also refusing to perform with Amyra while all the kids are still busy trying to convince her to see the greater good. Rocket asks Kulfi to look at him and says that Amyra isn't better than her. Kulfi explains that it is not that but that fact that she doesn't want to fight anymore. She misses her baba and that Ma had left her long back because of which she thought her baba was her whole world but he broke that thought into a million pieces.
Lovely asks Amyra to go with flow and not be stubborn. Sikander is still thinking about Kulfi. Rocket exclaims that it looks like her baba was at fault, he shouldn't have done this to her or her mother, to which Kulfi refuses it and retorts that no one speaks ill of her baba.
In the precap of Kullfi Kumar Bajewala we see Amyra asking Lovely for help in sending Kulfi back to her family and Kulfi is scared when she sees Lovely approaching her.

K. Porter - F
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have hired former NHLer Kevin Porter as an assistant coach.
Porter last played in the NHL in the 2016-17 season when he played a couple of games for the Penguins. He had 29 goals and 58 points in 249 NHL games and will assist head coach J.D. Forrest at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

K. Porter - SF
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) isn't with the Cavaliers on their six-game road trip that ends on Jan. 11.
Beat writer Chris Fedor provides welcome context for KPJ's continued absence from the team. "Because this isn't an injury, there's no exact timeframe and no reason to provide continuous updates on his status -- until it changes," Fedor writes. "The Cavs won't bring him back until they believe he is emotionally ready to return and has done enough away-from-the-court self-care ... [U]ntil they feel comfortable and see what they need out of Porter, he will not play. It's as simple -- and complicated -- as that."
Kevin Porter Jr. remains out indefinitely for personal reasons.
The Cavs haven't provided detail, so all we know is that KPJ missed the beginning of training camp, sat out preseason and hasn't been on the active roster this regular season. If we do hear that he's nearing a return, though, he'll be worth considering as a pickup. Until then, focus your waiver-wire energy elsewhere. We'll stop updating him until something changes.
Added Jan 01 5:54 pm (EST)
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) won't play on Tuesday vs. New York.
We really have no idea what's going on with KPJ or why he's been away from the team for so long, but we didn't see him at all during the preseason and the lack of transparency here is somewhat concerning. There's opportunity for him in Cleveland, but he's been away so long now, that once he does get back, he'll then need to go through at least a few weeks of conditioning before he's cleared. You can stash him in 16-team settings, but it might be time to move on in shallower formats.
Added Dec 28 5:47 pm (EST)
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
It's unclear when he'll be able to return to the team, but if you drafted him in a deep league, you might as well hang on because he shouldn't be out for too much longer. Damyean Dotson should remain in the rotation until KPJ gets back.
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) remains out for Wednesday's season opener.
An obvious sleeper over the offseason with the Cavaliers hyping him up, off-court issues and a late arrival to training camp has stalled his fantasy value. Once he's finally cleared, he'll immediately be on the fantasy radar with the Cavs wanting to run some offense through the second-year wing.
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) is still listed as out for Friday's preseason finale.
A sleeper of ours, Kevin Porter Jr. got into some trouble off the court but had those charges dropped on Thursday. He missed the first week of camp and didn't play at all in the preseason, leaving his availability for the season opener in jeopardy.
Added Dec 18 11:53 am (EST)
Firearms and minor marijuana charges filed against Kevin Porter Jr. last month have been dropped, the player's attorney told ESPN writer Brian Windhorst.
Porter was involved in a car crash in mid-November, with law enforcement officers alleged to have found a firearm and a small amount of marijuana in his possession. But according to lawyer Alex Spirro, those charges have been dropped. Porter Jr. is currently sidelined as he attends to off-court issues, and it is unknown whether or not he'll be available for Friday's finale against the Knicks.
Brian Windhorst on Twitter
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) will not play on Wednesday vs. the Knicks.
After missing the first week of training camp, KPJ is still catching on his conditioning. If he doesn't play in the preseason finale on Friday, there's a chance he won't play in the opener. Once he does get up to speed, KPJ has some sleeper appeal after a strong finish in 2019-20.
Added Dec 16 12:20 pm (EST)
Eric Woodyard
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) will not play vs. the Pacers on Monday.
Porter Jr. missed the first week of training camp and has some catching up to do conditioning-wise. He'll have two more chances to get some preseason action, on Wednesday and Friday vs. the Knicks.
Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's exhibition vs. the Pacers.
KPJ was late to camp, so his conditioning probably isn't where it needs to be, and he's also dealing with some undisclosed personal issues. He should be able to get out there at some point during the preseason, but while he's unavailable, there will be more minutes for Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro and possibly Dylan Windler.
C. Sexton - SG
Collin Sexton (right ankle sprain), Kevin Porter Jr. (personal), JaVale McGee (NWT) and Charles Matthews (knee) have been ruled out for Saturday's preseason opener against the Pacers.
Sexton twisted his right ankle at practice a few days ago, and while the injury is being described as "minor," there's just no reason for him to go out there and risk a setback in an exhibition game. With all these guys unavailable, we should get an extended look at Isaac Okoro, and it's possible he could even start at the two-spot. Sexton should be fine for opening night, and he's someone to towards the later rounds if you need some scoring.

K. Hunt - RB
CLE1
Kareem Hunt rushed six times for 32 yards in the Browns' Divisional Round loss to the Chiefs, adding a two-yard reception.
Bafflingly, Hunt registered zero official first half touches, with his only handle being wiped away by penalty. His usage reverted to normal after the break, but it was a microcosm of Hunt's stretch run, where he has held to fewer than 10 carries in 4-of-5 games, including the Wild Card Round. As expected, Hunt was one of the league's best backup backs this season, still looking capable of being an every-down player as he tacked 38 receptions onto a surprisingly robust 198 carries. That number was goosed by Nick Chubb missing four games. The starting time will not be 2021, however, as Hunt signed a two-year, $13.25 million extension before Week 1. With Chubb arguably the league's best pure runner, 26-year-old (in August) Hunt will remain a 1B for the Browns and low-end RB2 in fantasy. 2021 is the final year of Chubb's deal.
P. Kizzire - G
With preferred lies in effect and playing out of the seventh-to-last threesome, past champ and World No. 235 Patton Kizzire finished birdie-birdie toward a 6-under-par 32-32=64 in the final round of the Sony Open in Hawaii to conclude on 18-under 262, up 12 places to T5 with play winding down.
The Auburn alum sandwiched a pair of 64s in Rounds 2 and 3 back in 2018 leading to his most recent of two TOUR victories. This week, he bookended a pair of 64s in Rounds 1 and 4 with 69-65 in the middle en route to his second top 10 at the Sony in five tries and third top 15. The 34-year-old also records his second top 10 of the season in eight starts, joining a T10 at the RSM two starts ago, and if the top 5 holds, would be his first since the win here in 2018 77 starts ago. For the week, he totaled two eagles and 21 birdies against seven bogeys and is currently ranked T20 in GIR at 77.78 percent (56/72). In the finale, the Sea Island resident offset one bogey with seven birdies on 17 greens in regulation, gaining 1.814 strokes approaching and 0.979 on-the-green, highlighted by two conventional conversions from between 20 and 44 feet, and a hole-out birdie-3 at 17 from 30'7" away. He is in the published field at this coming week's American Express.
O. Ekman-Larsson - D
Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) has been moved to injured reserve.
This puts him retroactive to January 16, so he is eligible to come off IR on January 23. That means Ekman-Larsson will miss at least the next three games. The Coyotes announced earlier today that Ekman-Larsson wouldn't be traveling with the team to Vegas for the team's upcoming two-game road trip. He is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

When I was growing up, I used to love that Fruit on the Bottom yogurt sold in big convenience packs at the grocery store. My mom would buy a few containers of it a week and no sooner had she returned from the store than I would be set with my spoon, ready to push through the watery plain yogurt down into the gloppy "fruit" pooled at the bottom. I wouldn't even bother swirling it as was intended; I was fine with a spoonful or two of the sweet stuff before discarding the mostly full container in the trash (carefully hidden from my parents beneath a sheet of paper towel or two). The berry varieties were my favorite, but as I got older my palate started rejecting those little pots of sugar in favor of slightly more nuanced flavors and textures. Right now, nothing beats a spoonful of thick and tart Greek-strained yogurt. There is no denying, however that sweet berries and yogurt are a fine combination, but it is also one that can be easily put together at home sans the sugary jam (and to far greater results).
This *barely* counts as a recipe and so I won't even pretend to write one, but it's my latest obsession and one I thought worth sharing. Equally delicious as breakfast or dessert, this simple parfait makes great use of that thick, (overpriced) Greek-strained yogurt that seems to be everywhere right now. I'm a fan of the Fage (pronounced Fa-yeh!) brand yogurt, which is creamy and just a little bit tart. I scoop this into a wine glass and top with fresh blackberries, raspberries, unsweetened shredded coconut, and sliced almonds. A sprinkle of vanilla extract (I used my homemade kind--stay-tuned for more on that) and generous drizzles of amber Agave syrup finish off this perfect treat.
Now I've never really been a "fruits are enough for dessert" kind of girl--I tend to be drawn more to the molten-decadent-bruleed-a la mode-with a cherry on top kinds of treats--but this combo is so good that it somehow manages to sate my incorrigible sweet tooth with a kind of edible "there, there now."
And yes, it's good for you too! Thanks to Jamie Lee Curtis, we all already know about the benefits of yogurt in balancing the flora and fauna of the digestive track. The real goody in this treat is the Agave syrup. For those of you who haven't tried it (I'm a super recent convert still in possession of my first bottle), it tastes like a sweet cross between honey and maple syrup. It's slightly less viscose than honey and blends easily with liquids (even cold ones!). Though lacking the depth of raw honey, the sweetness and texture is great. And the best part (for those of you who, like me, are prone to finicky blood-sugar levels) is that the high-fructose content keep it a low-GI sweetener; so no blood sugar spikes and crashes to worry about.
I encourage you to give this combo a shot, or go ahead and try the yogurt with other fruits or berries, (and maybe toss in some ground flax seeds for added fiber). You'll never go back to those supermarket convenience packs again!
P.S. I got a new camera. Can you tell?
A of all, I thought the pictures came out of a food mag.
B of all, I saw your tweet about Fage and I was like "what the hell is Fage (rhymes with page)?" I'm still not sold on the pronunciation.
pics are awesome!!! what kind of camera did you get??
I love Agave nectar. I too have been using it for drinks, baking, etc. I worry about diabities and its great sweetner.Missed your posts!
Lots of Organic Agave Nectar. Visit WholeAndNatural.com .
Your mediocre photography has grown up.
The new camera shoots great.
You're so right about fruit being better on top. What camera did you get? The photography is stunning.
I've always wondered what the difference was between Greek yogurt and other varieties.

The title Four Rituals implies a kind of musical communication that is not one-sided but is based on feedback from the audience. For example, the length of the first movement is not predetermined but depends entirely on the level of audience engagement and participation. Throughout the course of the work, the audience is actively encouraged by the percussionists and the choir to take part in this process of exchange and participation. The two inner movements do not engage the audience or the choir directly, but their structure and feel still adhere more to the concept of ritual than to that of a piece of "concert music".

Virat Kohli leaps to Ravichandran Ashwin's defence
Published : Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 am IST
Updated : Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 am IST
For the skipper, it is more important for a bowler to know if he is making the batsman play according to his plans.
R. Ashwin
London: Senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has been on a downward spiral in one-day cricket but India skipper Virat Kohli feels it's unfair to be critical of him given the challenges of bowling on flat decks in the format.
Ashwin was taken to task by rookie Fakhar Zaman as he conceded 70 runs in 10 wicket-less overs in India's 180-run loss to Pakistan in Champions Trophy final on Sunday.
In fact, he got only a single wicket in three matches that he played, giving away 167 runs from 29 overs.
The economy rate of less than six runs per over, keeping in mind the current ODI rules, is not an issue.
But for someone, who is a different beast with the red ball, Ashwin is not bowling enough wicket-taking deliveries. A testimony to that is a haul of only nine wickets in his last 10 ODIs across two years.
Asked if Ashwin needed to revisit his plans due to poor his ODI record in recent times, Kohli was ready to bat for his senior-most spinner.
"Every spinner has challenges on flat decks and every spinner could go for runs. Especially on wickets like these, where if a batsman gets going, it really becomes difficult for the spinner and people are slogging across the line and getting away with it," Kohli reasoned.
"You can't really do much as a spinner because you are making them play where you want to play, but still, they are executing those shots," Kohli tried to explain the helpless feeling that his tweaker went through bowling to a marauding Zaman.
"It is not humanly possible to not concede boundaries and sixes. You have to understand whether you made the batsman hit where you wanted him to hit and take a risk, or you have bowled a bad ball. I think that's the only analysis a person needs to do and nothing more," the skipper elaborated.

Q: Copy .txt files from docker container to host So I have a docker container with .txt and .csv files in it. I need to copy these to host. But I only need to copy files .txt files. The command sudo docker cp -a env1_1:/path/*.txt . does not seem to work. Is copying files of a specific types possible using docker cp? I am unable to find any alternatives for now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

A: Indeed, docker cp does not support glob patterns, and as an aside, container paths are absolute:

The docker cp command assumes container paths are relative to the container's / (root) directory. This means supplying the initial forward slash is optional […]
Local machine paths can be an absolute or relative value. The command interprets a local machine's relative paths as relative to the current working directory where docker cp is run.

However, one may devise a workaround, relying on docker exec, and a manually crafted shell command relying on the tar command on both sides (assuming it is available in the image):
sudo docker exec env1_1 sh -c 'cd /path && tar cf - *.txt' | tar xvf -

or if need be:
sudo docker exec env1_1 sh -c 'cd /path && tar cf - *.txt' | ( cd /dest/path && tar xvf - )

Here, the special filename - denotes STDOUT (or respectively STDIN).
Usual disclaimer: the final tar command will overwrite without further notice the selected files in the current folder (or /dest/path in the second example).

Rust vs Python in Data Science, Systems Development & More
By Meghan Reichenbach on Sep 15, 2021
Rust and Python contrast in a unique way because while they both provide back-end web support, Python thrives as a flexible and consistent language, while Rust makes a name for itself with raw power and speed.
Python, named after the comedic group Monty Python, is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose language created by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in 1991. Python is dynamically typed and supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.
Python's most famed for its intuitive design and work with AI, web development, and Big Data.
Alternatively, if you can imagine C recreated for a modern world, then you get Rust.
Rust is a high-level, multiparadigm, general-purpose language created by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research, with help from Dave Herman and Brendan Eich. It first appeared in 2010, but the first stable release wasn't until 2015, and it was designed for maintaining safety and stability without sacrificing performance.
Because of Rust's ability to handle CPU-heavy operations, it's commonly used for developing enterprise systems, virtual reality, browser components, file systems – any project where performance is a top priority.
Now that we have a better idea of what we're dealing with, it's time to find out which language is best! I'll start by breaking down which language is best for beginners, then compare performance, salary, and see which works best for machine learning, data science, and system development.
Rust vs Python: Which Is Best for Beginners? 🔗
When choosing your first programming language, you want it to be easy to learn, but you also want it to be versatile, so you have a wide range of programming career options.
Python is an excellent beginner language because of its insanely low learning curve. This is due to Python's advanced readability (it literally looks like you're writing in plain English) and simplistic style of coding.
Python also supports functional and procedural programming, the two easiest paradigms to learn, and comes with an amazing set of standard libraries, giving you access to an extensive list of facilities.
We have an interactive course so you can learn functional programming.
Aside from being easy to learn, Python's also versatile. Its simplistic but powerful design has made it an excellent language for experimental fields, like machine learning and data science, but its security has also made it a key choice in back-end web development.
Both are innovative fields that offer very different environments.
It's also incredibly popular, with companies like Spotify, Netflix, and Dropbox using Python to develop their platforms, along with its massive community of developers.
Rust, on the other hand, works better as a later foray into programming. If you know C++ or C, Rust has a similar syntax so it may be easier for you to pick up.
Rust has a moderate-to-hard learning curve, and that's mostly to do the power it places in the hands of the developer. Python manages memory for you, while Rust requires the programmer to do it themselves. While it's more convenient to work in Python and let the language deal with memory, Rust's performance comes with the cost of some manual work.
Rust also has an interesting multi-paradigm approach to programming. As quoted in the Programming Rust book, it's:
"not really an object-oriented language, although it has some object-oriented characteristics. Rust is not a functional language […] It's probably best to reserve judgment about what sort of language Rust is, and see what you think once you've become comfortable with the language."
Rust technically supports OOP and functional programming, but it doesn't satisfy all the modern principles of either paradigm, so you're left floating in limbo until you discover how it works for you.
This is an intriguing aspect for experienced programmers that are familiar with the different paradigms and want a language to mesh to them, but for a beginner, stricter rules are better for creating your foundation for programming.
Overall: Rust lacks that easy intuitive design that makes Python such a clear shout for beginners.
Rust vs Python Salary: Which is higher paid? 🔗
Like most developer roles, both Rust and Python programming jobs pay well.
According to the Stack Overflow Developer 2020 survey, Rust developers on average earn around $130k a year in the US, and Python developers earn around $120k. So, they're very similar, with Rust earning a bit more.
In the same survey, Python was reported as the most wanted by developers, meaning it was the number one language developers wanted to learn, and Rust was voted most loved, but both languages sit at the top in their respective categories.
Essentially, developers love Rust and Python, and in both salary and popularity, there's no wrong choice.

Rust vs Python Performance 🔗
Their syntaxes aren't the only similarity between Rust and C++. One of the main selling points of Rust is its incredible performance, which is a trait C++ shares. However, Rust has a unique way of reading like a high-level language but performing like a low-level one. This is thanks to its compile-time memory management and modern toolchain.
Even though Rust is a high-level language, it still possesses fewer abstractions, so it compiles faster. This also means you have more low-level control over what you're programming, further improving performance.
Oppositely, Python's intuitiveness comes from having more abstractions. So, it takes longer to interpret, and interpreted code is already much slower than compiled machine code.
Rust's memory management system is also seriously efficient as the code is checked for invalid memory reference leaks, as well as other irregular behavior, at compile time. Python, however, uses a garbage collector to manage memory, which adds notorious drag time to performance.
It's not all bad for Python though. Some extensions help increase performance, like PyPy and Cython, but they're better for specific applications.
In the end, Rust's origin is founded on speed and stability, and it shows.
Rust vs Python for Machine Learning 🔗
Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence are arguably the "last frontier" of computer science, and needless to say, it's a fascinating time to get involved.
Python is currently the leading language in ML, with 57% of data scientists and machine learning developers using it, and 33% prioritizing it for development.
Its widespread adoption in the field can likely be attributed to Python's simplistic and consistent design. ML is largely experimental, and coding in a language with high readability makes experimenting not only easier but more enjoyable. Academics and researchers need to be able to read code, and Python is nothing if not human-readable.
Python's legible syntax makes it consistent and a stable language to experiment with as well. As a general-purpose language, Python can create anything, and its platform independence lets you implement it anywhere. It's also ideal for fast prototype creation.
Aside from Python's structural benefits, it has phenomenal library and framework support like Keras, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, and loads more.
There's also the simple fact that the community chose Python. As we saw above, it's the most used language by ML developers, and with that comes a large community and investment from companies to develop more ML-based features for the language.
Rust by all means has the capabilities of supporting machine learning. It's stable, powerful, and fast, however, the interest isn't there.
Rust lacks the libraries and frameworks needed to manage ML, and tech giants and developers aren't developing them - they're already entrenched in languages like Python and Java that have the necessary tools.
The community truly does make or break a language's potential in any field, because it directly influences the demand and creation of tools to support them. Overall, Python has the intrinsic and communal support to dominate as a machine learning language.
Hot tip: Machine learning is essentially algorithms. Algorithms that leverage statistics to learn patterns and behaviors, so the more advanced you are with algorithms the better your ML skills become.

The pace of Boot.dev's JavaScript, Python and Go courses has been perfect for me. The diverse community in Discord is a blast, and other members are quick to help out with detailed answers and explanations.

Rust vs Python for Data Science 🔗
Much like machine learning, Python also reigns supreme in data science, and for similar reasons.
When handling Big Data, having a straightforward syntax minimizes complexity. As I stated earlier, Rust keeps you hovering in limbo until you find your version of the language, and experimenting with the code while in an experimental field creates a very chaotic environment.
And sure, by this point, you may have already nailed down how you and your team write your style of Rust, but not every developer on the team will use it in exactly the same way, and Python's clear syntax can offer team-wide consistency.
Python also has fantastic data management libraries and frameworks like Seaborn for top-notch data visualization, Pandas for data analysis, NumPy for large-scale mathematical tasks, and Statsmodel for statistical model building – just to name a few.
Partnered with the industry's support, Python's an unbeatable asset.
Rust has potential, but it struggles with visual implementations and has few data science libraries. So, you'll need to be incredibly confident with Rust as you'll have to build most things from scratch.
The community also isn't as big, but it's very excited about the possibilities Rust poses for the industry. So, it's not a complete no, but if you're keen to work as a data scientist now, then Python is your best bet. But definitely keep a lookout for Rust in the future.
Hot tip: Once you're comfortable with Python, take a Big O data structure class to improve how you interact with the data.
Rust vs Python for System Development 🔗
Now it's time to give Rust its due credit.
Power and speed is the top priority in system development. Lower-level systems like remote controls, IOT devices, operating systems, and kernels rely heavily on CPU operations and the ability to execute multiple algorithms at a time, all while maintaining performance, and Rust does this seamlessly.
Rust picks up where C/C++ falls short when it comes to memory management. Rust performs verification for thread safety and memory safety at compile-time, so you don't have to rely on typical run-time checks. Plus, Rust doesn't allow for null exceptions preventing you from making mistakes in the first place.
Rust also maintains the ability to manage low-level details and multi-threading, giving you intricate control over the system. Not only that, but you can disconnect from the low-level standard library integrations and incorporate your own.
Rust isn't just for development but also for system maintenance. You can maintain systems by cross-compiling new code with existing code, and it has a package manager that interacts with the rest of the ecosystem.
Python, however, simply doesn't have the raw power for this kind of work.
Python has excellent memory management, but it relies on a garbage collector, which hinders performance. It's not as noticeable with smaller applications, but larger projects suffer dearly.
Python also doesn't offer the same kind of low-level control. What makes Pythons so easy to read is the amount of "batteries included", hiding all of those low-level details.
In the end, Rust brings a lot of modern features to the field that weren't previously there, namely in memory and low-level management. Don't take it from me though, take it from Amazon who uses it on multiple AWS services like Amazon Firecracker, Amazon EC2, and Amazon CloudFront.
Rust vs Python: The Final Verdict 🔗
To be frank, there is no "which is better Python or Rust" because the two languages are almost incomparable.
Rust is modern and robust. Its performance rivals that of C/C++ and it's a beast at developing and managing large enterprise systems, embedded systems, and file systems without breaking a sweat.
However, it's slow to be adopted by most companies because so few developers know it, but that doesn't diminish this language's immense potential.
Python, on the other hand, is flexible and intuitive. Its consistent but malleable structure makes it the perfect companion for highly experimental fields like data science and machine learning, but also for startup culture like back-end web development. And it has a massive community to match.
So, it's really about which one is best for you and your goals. Regardless, both languages receive endless positivity from the computer science community and promise a fulfilling (and well paid) career to anyone!

PPG Reports Record Fourth Quarter Sales, Earnings Per Share
Dépèche transmise le 20 janvier 2011 par Business Wire
PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) today reported record sales for the fourth quarter 2010 of $3.4 billion, an increase of 8 percent versus the prior year's fourth quarter. Reported net income for the quarter increased to $205 million, or $1.24 per share. Fourth quarter 2009 sales were $3.1 billion, and reported net income was $142 million, or 85 cents per share.
"Looking ahead to 2011, we anticipate that the global economic recovery will strengthen and broaden"
PPG's fourth quarter 2010 adjusted net income was $207 million, or $1.25 per share. Fourth quarter 2009 adjusted net income was $144 million, or 86 cents per share. Both years include an aftertax charge of $2 million, or 1 cent per share, reflecting the net increase in the current value of the company's obligation under its proposed asbestos settlement, which is pending court proceedings. A Regulation G Reconciliation of adjusted net income to reported net income is included below.
PPG's annual sales for 2010 were $13.4 billion, an increase of 10 percent versus 2009 sales of $12.2 billion. PPG's full year 2010 adjusted net income was $862 million, or $5.18 per share, compared with full year 2009 adjusted net income of $485 million, or $2.94 per share. Reported net income for 2010 increased to $769 million, or $4.63 per share. Full year 2009 reported net income was $336 million, or $2.03 per share.
"Our record fourth quarter sales and earnings capped what was an excellent year for PPG and give us momentum heading into 2011," said Charles E. Bunch, PPG chairman and CEO. "In the quarter, our coatings and Optical and Specialty Materials segments combined to post sales and earnings records despite increasing raw materials costs for coatings. Our Commodity Chemicals and Glass segments continued their significant improvement trends by growing earnings by a combined $90 million year-over-year and delivering solid double-digit operating margins in a seasonally slow quarter." Bunch said that the company's selling prices increased in each quarter during the year, and its businesses in emerging regions once again grew by double-digit percentages.
"Our performance for all of 2010 demonstrates how strongly we are emerging from the recession, and we're only now beginning to see the full earnings power of the company. In the last two quarters, we achieved record earnings per share, and we nearly posted a full-year record despite volumes that remain well below pre-recession levels," Bunch said. "Despite a partial recovery, 2010 sales volumes still remained $1.2 billion below 2008 levels.
"The successful implementation of our strategy is enabling us to fully leverage our global breadth and leadership positions in coatings and optical products," Bunch said. "Also, we have maintained a sharp cost and execution focus." He said that PPG delivered $150 million in additional cost savings in 2010, bringing its total cost reductions since 2008 to more than $500 million.
"We continued our legacy of strong cash generation and rewarding shareholders and returned about 75 percent of PPG's cash from operations, or about $1 billion, to shareholders in the form of an increased annual dividend payout and share repurchases," Bunch said. PPG repurchased 8.1 million shares during the year.
"Looking ahead to 2011, we anticipate that the global economic recovery will strengthen and broaden," Bunch said. "This should drive volume increases for PPG, which we expect to leverage into higher earnings through our continued cost focus." He said the company is implementing price increases in its Commodity Chemicals segment and in each of its coatings segments to fully counter rising raw materials costs. Bunch concluded by saying that PPG is working on several initiatives to deploy its nearly $2 billion of cash and short-term investments to grow earnings.
PPG's full year ongoing tax rate was 26 percent. This reduction from the previously forecasted full year rate of 27 percent and the impact of statutory tax rate changes contributed 9 cents to earnings per share in the quarter, including a catch-up of 6 cents from lowering the rate for the first nine months of the year. The tax rate was lowered due to benefits included in U.S. tax legislation passed late in the year and tax planning initiatives implemented during the fourth quarter. The company currently anticipates the 2011 ongoing tax rate to range between 26 and 27 percent.
Performance Coatings segment sales in the fourth quarter 2010 increased $76 million, or 7 percent, versus last year's fourth quarter as a result of higher selling prices and volumes that improved in every region. Sales were aided by double-digit percentage growth in the aerospace and protective and marine coatings businesses and solid growth in the automotive refinish business. Volumes in the architectural coatings – Americas and Asia/Pacific business were flat. Segment earnings grew $21 million, or 14 percent, to a record $170 million as a result of the volume gains and a lower cost structure.
Industrial Coatings segment sales for the quarter rose $90 million, or 10 percent, versus improving prior year results. Volume recovery continued in several industrial end-use markets, particularly in the automotive OEM coatings business, where the recovery was supplemented by share gain. Asia/Pacific remained the strongest growth region, as total segment sales in that region surpassed those in the United States and Canada for the quarter. Segment earnings for the quarter were $79 million, a decrease of $10 million from the prior year's fourth quarter. The benefit from improved volumes, lower costs and pricing did not fully offset raw material cost inflation.
Sales for the Architectural Coatings – EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) segment for the quarter decreased $31 million, or 7 percent, versus the prior year due to negative currency conversion of $28 million and mid-single-digit volume declines, partly countered by solid pricing gains. Segment earnings declined $9 million due to the lower sales volumes.
The Optical and Specialty Materials segment delivered record fourth quarter sales and earnings. Segment sales for the quarter increased $23 million, or 9 percent, versus the prior year as a result of double-digit percentage volume growth, offset slightly by negative currency conversion. Segment earnings improved $10 million to $57 million, primarily as a result of the higher sales volumes, offset slightly by increased selling and advertising costs to support the sales growth.
Commodity Chemicals segment sales for the quarter increased $70 million, or 23 percent, versus the prior year due to higher pricing. Segment earnings grew $65 million due to the improved pricing, partially offset by higher maintenance costs.
Glass segment sales increased $35 million, or 16 percent, compared with the prior year as a result of improved volumes and pricing. Segment income was $29 million, an improvement of $28 million due to lower manufacturing costs, higher volumes and the impact of higher pricing.

Statements in this news release relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 reflecting the company's current view with respect to future events or objectives and financial or operational performance or results. These matters involve risks and uncertainties as discussed in PPG Industries' periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and its current reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the company's forward-looking statements.
Among these factors are global economic conditions, increasing price and product competition by foreign and domestic competitors, fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials, the ability to maintain favorable supplier relationships and arrangements, the realization of anticipated cost savings from restructuring initiatives, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving expected synergies therefrom, the ability to penetrate existing, developing or emerging foreign and domestic markets, and economic and political conditions in international markets, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in such rates, fluctuations in tax rates, the impact of future legislation, the impact of environmental regulations, unexpected business disruptions and the unpredictability of possible future litigation, including litigation that could result if the asbestos settlement discussed in PPG's filings with the SEC does not become effective. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.
Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on PPG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of their initial issuance, and PPG does not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Regulation G Reconciliation
PPG Industries believes investors' understanding of the company's operating performance is enhanced by the disclosure of net income and earnings per common share (attributable to PPG) adjusted for nonrecurring charges. PPG's management considers this information useful in providing insight into the company's ongoing operating performance because it excludes the impact of items that cannot reasonably be expected to recur on a quarterly basis. Net income and earnings per common share (attributable to PPG) adjusted for these items are not recognized financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for net income or earnings per common share (attributable to PPG) or other financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income and earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies. The following is a reconciliation of reported and adjusted net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarters 2010 and 2009 and the full years 2010 and 2009:

Note A:
Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes expense of $85 million resulting from the reduction of our previously provided deferred tax asset related to our liability for retiree medical costs. The deferred tax asset was reduced due to tax law changes included in health care legislation enacted by Congress in March 2010, that included a provision to reduce the amount of retiree medical costs that will be deductible after Dec. 31, 2012. Tax expense for 2010 also includes a $5 million benefit as a result of enacted changes in statutory tax rates. The remaining tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, of $335 million represents an effective tax rate on pretax earnings of approximately 26 percent.
The effective tax rate on pretax earnings for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 31 percent, consisting of tax benefits of 24 percent on the charge for business restructuring, 38 percent on the asbestos charge, and $2 million stemming from audit settlements while the remaining tax expense represents approximately 30 percent on the remaining pretax earnings.

Compound Ignorance
In the spring of 1986, a statistically representative sample of 8,000 American 17-year-olds enrolled in U.S. history courses was surveyed by the Department of Education on their knowledge of basic historical facts. The results were, well, striking:
68% of the sample couldn't locate the Civil War within the correct half century (1850-1900), while 43% couldn't place the First World War within the correct fifty-year period (1900-1950).
32% thought that Columbus had discovered the New World after 1750.
39% couldn't identify 1750-1800 as the half-century in which the U.S. Constitution was written.
40% couldn't place the bombing of Pearl Harbor within the correct four-year period (1939-1943).
40% couldn't identify Magna Carta as the foundation of the British parliamentary system.
40% didn't know that the purpose of the Federalist papers was to secure ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
Literary ignorance compounded historical illiteracy: 64% of the survey couldn't identify Geoffrey Chaucer as the author of the Canterbury Tales; 84% didn't know that Dostoevsky wrote Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov; 67% didn't know the region of the United States in which William Faulkner's novels were set; 72% couldn't identify Willa Cather as the author of such novels about the settling of the American West as Death Comes for the Archbishop and My Antonia; and 60% didn't know that Walt Whitman was the American poet who wrote Leaves of Grass.
What do these figures, appalling as they are, have to do with the types of things that concern us in AMERICAN PURPOSE?
Simply this: They are a useful caution about the present enthusiasm for "global education," analyzed by Robert Pickus in our April 1987 issue.
No thoughtful person doubts that American students have to learn about things beyond the borders of these United States. A basic understanding of world history and geography; a working grasp of at least one foreign language; a minimal understanding of one non-Western religious and/or cultural tradition-these should all be elements of anyone's basic education in the K-12 years. They ought, ideally, to be complemented by an ability to analyze thoughtfully world politics, and particularly the ideological component in both East/West and North/South relations in the modern world. All of this goes, or should go, without saying. The global education movement is to be welcomed insofar as it continues to press these issues on American educators.
But global educators will be making a fundamental error-in educational theory as well as in civic practice-if they insist (as some seem to do) that education for a global perspective transcends, or precludes, or replaces knowledge about one's own society, its history, geography, language, and literature. It is ludicrous to think that students who can't even date the American Civil War (much less intelligently discuss its causes and effects) will be able, through global education, to comprehend the civil war in Nicaragua, or Chad, or Cambodia. Can we realistically expect students who don't know when their own Constitution was written, and who are blissfully ignorant of the arguments that surrounded its ratification, to understand and be able to participate as adult citizens in debate over, say, the democratic revolution in Latin America and East Asia? How will students who can't date the First World War (within a half-century!), and who don't know when their own country entered World War II, participate in even the most rudimentary civic discourse over America's responsibilities for peace, security, and freedom in the 21st century?
There is a coalition waiting to be born here: between those parents, educators, and public officials who have had enough of the modem mush of social studies and who are demanding a return to the classic curriculum of history, geography, and civics, and those parts of the global education community who understand that particularity and universality aren't diametrically opposed, but are in fact complementary. Knowledge of one's own society, in other words, is the precondition to an understanding of, and appreciation for, the society, culture and politics of others. The issue is not either/or. The issue is both/and.

If you heard Danny Gokey sing during rock week on American Idol, you heard and felt his vibrations as he sang Aerosmith's "Dream On." Vibrations with the correct alignment would be called singing. Vocalizations that are out of alignment get bad reviews. His last note was not in alignment, it sounded more like a disharmonious scream.
Vibrations are another way to talk about our emotional state, sensations in the body ("in the pit of my stomach") thoughts and perceptions.
Your vibration represents your current emotion or the "level" of your mood and feeling about any matter or event. What is great about the way our brain is designed (what Dr. Daniel Amen calls the "hardware of our soul") is that we can create the emotional state or vibration we desire. We can choose our emotional frequency and what we place at the center of our focus.
You can even shift your perceptions and "mental vibration" when stressed by asking a simple question like, "What is great about this?"
Fundamentally, what is most important in our life isn't what happens to us, but how we choose to react to life's events. That doesn't mean what happens is insignificant, but it does mean that in the end external events do not have to ultimately define us.
While anger, sadness, guilt, wrath, jealousy etc. are all legitimate and normal emotional reactions. When we linger on these feelings, we see the world differently. It is our perceptions that determines our actions which in the end will determine our destiny. In just two weeks of experiencing increased guilt, sadness, lethargy, anxiety and irritability, biochemical changes take place in the brain that lead to a mild or moderate depression. Just TWO WEEKS!
The world literally looks brighter when you are more appreciative and in alignment with your life's purpose. Mental and emotional states have a strong impact on our cellular systems.
Play along with me and try a little experiment. Visualize and set a deep sense of something positive in your life - it could be watching a sunset or embracing a loved one (or if you are like my friend Terry Wilson - it would be out to sea on his boat). Now swallow, yes I did say swallow. Notice the level of effort it took to swallow. Did it feel easy to accomplish or difficult? Now think of something negative or even focus on a visual image of the word "hate." Now swallow once again. Notice the level of difficulty.
For most of you, unless you are currently stressed or out of sorts, focusing on something negative made it more difficult to swallow. Anyone who has been anxious giving a speech for the first time can relate to this exercise. This little exercise reveals the impact the mind has on the body. Over time thoughts do become things in the form of stress related illness.
Tapping on acupuncture points while focusing on what is bother you is also effective for eliminating fears and limiting beliefs.
So here is the basic instructions..... If you have questions, successes or challenges let me know!
1. Tune into feeling or issue.
2. Rate intensity on scale of 1 to 10 Ex. "5 represent an increasing discomfort but can handle it"
3. Setup: Tap Karate Chop point and say 3 times, "Even though I am really or have this ____(hurt, angry, outraged, "beside myself" etc.) I deeply love and accept myself" or fully accept the love of God. Some folk with a sense of spiritual journey find the latter affirmation more effective.
Say "this _______ (anger, hurt, debt, guilt, grief etc.) and repeat as you tap on each of the following points listed below (except where noted can tap with end of index and middle finger.(For example while tapping on each of the points listed below, "This "financial stress," or "parenting stress.") If you are really tuned into the emotion you can sometimes get the same results by just tapping on the point without the target phrases.
*four inches under your arm pit, tap with your open palm.
Take deep breath and notice change in body sensations, feelings or thought.
If 1 or zero stop.
If 2 or higher repeat the Tapping Sequence saying "this remaining problem ________."
Persist until reaching zero or an acceptable level of distress.
Signs that it is working can be a flush of energy moving through your body, sighing, and a sense of release. For some folk the experience is gentle and others may experience a flood of emotional release. View the Veteran's video for EFT on this site and witness visible shifts. My recommendation for treating childhood trauma is to see a qualified EFT practitioner instead of attempting self treatment.

Adermatoglyphia Q82.8
Isolated congenital choroidal matoglyphia is a very rare, autosomal dominant inherited, monotopic, non-syndromic disorder of the palms and soles. In this case, the papillary ridges are missing in the affected individuals. Thus, these individuals leave no fingerprints. The malformation is associated with a reduced number of sweat gland orifices and decreased transpiration of the palms and soles.
Etiopathogenesis
The disorder is caused by a mutation in the SMARCAD1 gene on chromosome 4 (Nousbeck J et al. 2011). SMARCAD1 encodes a member of the SNF subfamily of helicase proteins (SMARCAD helicase). Evidence indicated a transversion in a splice site in a non-coding 3' lying exon of the SMARCAD1 gene. The point mutation results in a truncation of the gene product. The SMARCAD helicase mutant was also detected in the skin of the subjects.
Ekthyma
Circumscribed, as if punched out (sharp-edged) ulcers of the skin, which is favoured by external circumstan...
The encoded SMARCAD helicase plays a crucial role in the restoration of heterochromatin organization and the propagation of epigenetic patterns after DNA replication by mediating histone H3/H4 deacetylation.
The mutation found in an affected Swiss family in 2011 is a point mutation in which a purine base is exchanged for a pyrimidine base (a so-called transversion). The point mutation leads to a shortening of the gene product and thus probably to a protein that is restricted in function.
A variant of isolated congenital choroidal matoglyphia is the so-called Basan syndrome in which congenital choroidal matoglyphia is combined with facial milia, reduced sweating, contactures, acral blistering, and nail dystrophies. (Valentine MN et al 2018)

According to an article by VicRoads new drink driving laws were introduced to Victoria's Parliament last week. If they are passed by Parliament the new laws will see every driver over 0.05 have their licences cancelled immediately and disqualified from driving for three months. The driver will be required to have an alcohol interlock fitted to their vehicle for six months and will have to complete a new behaviour change program before being re-licenced.
Some Victorians, and those visiting from elsewhere, will consider this harsh but if looked at objectively it makes complete sense. Especially when taking in the fact that every year in Victoria up to 3,000 full licence holders are caught drink-driving with a blood alcohol content between 0.05 and 0.07. Obviously the "Don't Drink and Drive" message is just not working.
A combination of traffic offences arising out of the same incident.
Any offence committed by the licence holder who has previously been disqualified.
In South Australia you can be disqualified from from driving if you are convicted in court of a graffiti related offence.
Disqualification from driving can be for periods of 3 months to 24 months and in some cases even longer. What happens at the end of that period is the focus of this post.
In Queensland if you are disqualified from holding a driver licence and have served the period of disqualification you will be issued with a probationary licence. This probationary licence will be in force for at least 1 year and will require you to have a zero blood alcohol concentration when driving and carry your licence at all time when driving.
In South Australia probationary licences are granted whenever a person applies for the issue of a driver's licence following a period of disqualification which resulted in the cancellation of their licence. A period of 12 months or, if the court orders, a longer period applies to probationary licences.
New South Wales, Western Australia and the Northern Territory only require that you complete a renewal application form.
In all states of Australia your licence can be suspended if you fail to pay a fine, even non-traffic fines.
Queensland and South Australia have a mandatory probationary period after the disqualification period has been completed, which goes a long way to help with recidivism. But is that enough? Should it be harder to get your licence back after disqualification? Surely it can be said that if you have lost your licence you either didn't learn the rules properly in the first place or you have deliberately flouted them.
The Kritic's proposal, for all states and territories, is one where the disqualified driver goes through several steps covering knowledge, ability and experience. One of the steps is the successful application for what I'm calling a "P3 licence", or Blue P's. So what are these proposed steps in order to get your full licence back after disqualification?
Pass the Driver Knowledge Test.
Pass the Hazard Perception Test.
Pay the P3 Licence and test fees.
Hold the P3 Licence for at least 12 months.
Pass the Driver Qualification Test(DQT).
Pay the Full Driver Licence and DQT fees.
Graduate to the Full Driver Licence.
Not use mobile phone by any means, including hands free, Bluetooth or Car stereo while driving or stationary (except being parked).
Have P plates displayed (blue P on a white background) clearly on the outside of the front and back of the vehicle. The letter P on the plate must not be hidden. If you're towing a trailer, a P plate must be on the back of the trailer.
Not exceed zero blood alcohol concentration.
Not drive under the influence of drugs.
Not supervise a learner driver.
Not exceed 7 Demerit Points.
Seven (7) Demerit Points apply to P3 drivers. A P3 licence will be cancelled upon accumulation of 7 Demerit Points and a disqualification period of 12 months will apply.
If a P3 driver commits any speeding offence they'll receive a minimum of 4 demerit points. A P3 licence will be cancelled for any excessive speed offence (more than 30km/h over the speed limit) and a disqualification period of 12 months will apply.
Once a P3 licence has been held for at least 12 months a driver becomes eligible to progress to a full licence. On application for a full driver licence you must pass a Driver Qualification Test. This is a computer based test to confirm that drivers have sufficient knowledge and hazard perception skills to "graduate" to a full driver licence.
Part 1 is the Driver Knowledge Test that assesses knowledge of road rules.
Part 2 is the Hazard Perception Test that assess ability to recognise hazards and respond appropriately.
Let me know your thoughts on the matter in the comments below.
I think I've only ever had one ticket so this would probably never apply to me but I think what you are proposing seems like a better system than what is currently in place.
The whole "knowledge, ability and experience" approach appeals to me. I think this would be a fair solution for everyone, both the offender and other road users.
I think the approach that you suggests strikes a balance between punishment, deterrence and re-education.
How ridiculous! The disqualification is punishment enough. Why inflict more pain on a person that is down on their luck?

Thierry Hupond, né le  à Décines-Charpieu (Rhône), est un coureur cycliste français, professionnel de 2007 à 2017. Il est passé professionnel dans l'équipe néerlandaise Skil-Shimano en 2008, après y avoir été stagiaire à la fin de la saison 2007.

Biographie

Thierry Hupond naît le  à Décines-Charpieu en France.

Il entre en 1997 au Charvieu-Chavagneux IC. Il termine  du Chrono des Nations juniors en 2001 et est champion de France contre-la-montre juniors l'année suivante. Il fait son entrée en 2005 au Vélo-Club La Pomme Marseille. En 2006, il remporte une étape du Tour de Nouvelle-Calédonie et la Vallée du Champsaur. En 2007, il remporte le Souvenir Vietto-Gianello et le Tour du Charolais. Du 15 août au 31 décembre, il est pris comme stagiaire dans l'équipe néerlandaise Skil-Shimano.

Thierry Hupond devient professionnel dans cette équipe en 2008. Il demeure dans celle-ci au fil des saisons et des changements de nom : Project 1t4i le  janvier 2012, Argos-Shimano le  avril 2012, Giant-Shimano en 2014 et Giant-Alpecin en 2015. Il termine  du Tour de Münster en 2009 et  des Boucles du Sud Ardèche en 2011, mais c'est en 2014 qu'il obtient sa première victoire en tant que professionnel, sur la  des Quatre Jours de Dunkerque. Au sein de cette formation, il tient durant ces années un rôle-type de grégario consistant à rouler en tête de peloton pour réduire l'avance des échappés et favoriser une arrivée au sprint pour Marcel Kittel.

Fin 2015, il s'engage avec l'équipe continentale professionnelle Delko-Marseille Provence-KTM où il est libéré de ce rôle et peut enfin attaquer et participer aux échappées.

Il met un terme à sa carrière de coureur à l'issue de la saison 2017.
